wherein to reioyce but not with God 3 For what saith the Scripture * Abraham beleued God it was counted to him for righteousnes 4 Now to him that worketh the wages is not counted by fauour but by dette 5 But to him that worketh not but beleueth in him that iustifieth the vngodlie his faith is counted for righteousnes 6 Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednes of the 〈◊〉 vnto whome God imputeth righteousnes without workes saying 7 * Blessed are thei whose iniquities are forgiuen and whose sinnes are couered 8 Blessed is the man to whome the Lord imputeth not sinne 9 Came this blessednes then vpon the circumcision onely or vpon the vncircumcision also For we say that faith was imputed vnto Abraham for righteousnes 10 How was it then imputed when he was cir cumcised or vncircumcised not when he was circumcised but when he was vncircum cised 11 * After he receiued the signe of circumcisiō as the seale of the righteousnes of the faith which he had when he was vncircumcised that he shulde be the Father of all them that beleue not being circūcised that righteousnes might be imputed to them also 12 And the Father of circumcision not vnto them onely which are of the circumcision but vnto thē also that walke in the steppes of the faith of our Father Abraham which he had when he was vncircumcised 13 For the promes that he shulde be the heire of the worlde was not giuen to Abraham or to his seed through the law but through the righteousnes of faith 14 For if they which are of the Law be heires faith is made voyde the promes is made of none effect 15 For the Law causeth wrath 〈◊〉 where no Law is there is no transgression 16 Therefore it is by faith that it might come by grace and the promes might be sure to all the sede not to that onely which is of the Law but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham who is the Father of vs all 17 As it is written * I haue made thee a Father of many naciōs euen before God whom he beleued who quickeneth the dead 〈◊〉 calleth those things which be not as thogh they were 18 Which Abraham aboue hope beleued vnder hope that he shulde be the Father of many nacions according to that which was spoken to him * So shal thy sede be 19 And he not weake in the faith considered not his owne bodie which was now dead being almost an hundreth yere olde nether the deadnes of Saras wombe 20 Nether did he doubte of the promes of God through vnbeliefe but was strengthened in the faith and gaue glorie to God 21 Being fully assured that he which had promised was also able to do it 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnes 23 Now it is not written for him onely that it was imputed to him for righteousnes 24 But also forvs to whome it shal be imputed for righteousnes which beleue in him that raised vp Iesus our Lord from the dead 25 Who was deliuered to death for our sinnes and is risen againe for our iustification CHAP. V. 1 He declareth the frute of faith 7 And by comparison setteth forthe the loue of God and obedience of Christ which is the fundacion and grounde of the same 1 THen being iustified by faith we haue peace towarde God through our Lord Iesus Christ. 2 * By whome also we haue accesse through faith vnto this grace where in we stand and reioyce vnder the hope of the glorie of God 3 Nether do we so onely but also we * reioyce in tribulations knowing that tribulation bringeth forthe patience 4 And patience experience and experience hope 5 And hope maketh not ashamed because the loue of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the holie Gost which is giuen vnto vs. 6 For Christ when we were yet of nostrength at his time dyed for the * vngodlie 7 Douteles one wil scarse dye for a righteous man but yet for a good man it may be that one dare dye 8 But God setteth out his loue towarde vs seing that while we were yet sinners Christ dyed for vs. 9 〈◊〉 more then being now iustified by his blood we shal be saued from wrath through him 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne muche more being reconciled we shal be saued by his life 11 And not onely so but we also reioyce in God through our Lord Iesus Christ by whome we haue now receiued the atonement 12 Wherefore as by one man sinne entred into the worlde and death by sinne and so death went ouer all men for asmuche as all men haue sinned 13 For vnto the time of the Law was sinne in the worlde but sinne is not imputed whille there is no Law 14 But death reigned from Adam to Moses euen ouer thē also that sinned not after the like maner of the trāsgressiō of Adā which was the figure of him that was to come 15 But yet the gift is not so as is the offence for if through the offence of one many be dead muche more the grace of God and the gift by grace which is by one man Iesus Christ hath abunded vnto many 16 Nether is the gift so as that which entred in by one that sinned for the faute came of one offence vnto condēnacion but the gift is of many offences to iustification 17 For if by the offence of one death reigned through one muche more shal they which receiue the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousnes reigne in life through one that is Iesus Christ. 18 Likewise thē as by the offence of one the faute came on all men to condemnation so by the iustifying of one the benefit abūded toward all men to the iustification of life 19 For as by one mans disobediēce many were made sinners so by the obediēce of one shal many also be made righteous 20 Moreouer the Law entred thereup on that the offence shuld abūde neuertheles where sinne abunded there grace abunded much more 21 That as sinne had reigned vnto death so might grace also reigne by righteousnes vnto eternallife through Iesus Christ our Lord CHAP.

IIII. 2 He sheweth wherefore the ceremonies were ordeined Which being shadowes must end when CHRIST the trueth commeth 9 He moueth them by certeine exhortations 22 And confirmeth his argument with a strong example or allegorie 1 THen I say that the heire as long as he is a childe differeth nothing from a seruāt thogh he be Lord of all 2 But is vnder tuters and gouerners vntil the time appointed of the father 3 Euen so we when we were children were in bondage vnder the rudiments of the world 4 But when the fulnes of time was come God sent forthe his Sonne made of awomā and made vnder the Law 5 That he might redeme them which were vn der the Law that we * might receiue the ado ption of the sonnes 6 And because ye are sonnes God hathe sent forthe the Spirit of his Sonne into your hearts which cryeth Abba Father 7 Wherefore thou art no more a seruant but a sonne now if thou be a sonne thou art also the heire of God through Christ. 8 But euen then when ye knewe not God ye did seruice vnto them which by nature are not gods 9 But now seing ye knowe God yea rather are knowen of God how turne ye againe vnto impotent and beggerlie rudiments whereunto as from the beginning ye wil be in bondage againe 10 Ye obserue dayes and moneths and times and yeres 11 I am in feare of you lest I haue bestowed on you labour in vaine 12 Be ye as I for I am euen as you brethren I beseche you ye haue not hurt meat all 13 And ye knowe how through infirmitie of the flesh I preached the Gospel vnto you at the first 14 And the tryal of me which was in my flesh ye despised not nether abhorred but ye receiued me as an Angel of God yea as Christ Iesus 15 What was then your felicitie for I beare you recorde that if it had bene possible ye wolde haue plucked out your owne eyes haue giuen them to me 16 Am I therefore be come your enemie because I tell you the trueth 17 They are ielous ouer you amisse yea they wolde exclude you that ye shulde altogether loue them 18 But it is a good thing to loue earnestly alwayes in a good thing and not onely when I am present with you 19 My litle children of whome I trauaile in birth againe vntil CHRIST be formed in you 20 And I wolde I were with you now that I might change my voice for I am in doute of you 21 Tell me ye that wil be vnder the Law do ye not heare the Law 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sonnes * one by a seruant and * one by a fre woman 23 But he which was of the seruant was borne after the flesh and he which was of the fre woman was borne by promes 24 By the which things another thing is ment for these mothers are the two Testaments the one which is Agar of mounte Sina which gendreth vnto bondage 25 For Agar or Sina is a mountaine in Arabia and it answereth to 〈◊〉 whiche now is and she is in bondage with her children 26 But Ierusalem which is aboue is fre whiche is the mother of vs all 27 For it is written * Reioyce thou barren that bearest no children breake forthe and cryethou that trauailest not for the desolat hathe many mo children then she whiche hathe an housband 28 * Therefore brethren were after the maner of Isaac children of the promes 29 But as then he that was borne after the flesh persecuted hym that was borne after the spirit euen so it is now 30 But what saith the Scripture * Put out the seruant and her sonne for the sonne of the seruant shall not be heire with the sonne of the fre woman 31 Then brethren we are no children of the seruant but of the fre woman CHAP.

16 But Peter continued knockyng and when they had opened it and sawe hym they were astonied 17 And he beckened vnto thē with the hand to holde their peace and tolde them howe the Lord had broght hym out of the prison And he said Go shewe these things vnto Iames and to the brethren and he departed and went into another place 18 ¶ Nowe assone as it was daye there was no smale trouble amōg the souldiers what was become of Peter 19 And when Herode had soght for hym and founde him not he examined the kepers ād commanded them to be led to be punished And he went downe from Iudea to Cesarea and

whereunto I haue called them 3 Then fasted they and prayed and layd theyr hands on them and let them go 4 And they after they were * sent forth of the holie Gost came downe vnto Seleucia and from thence they sailed to Cyprus 5 And when they were Salamis they preached the worde of GOD in the Synagogues of the Iewes ād they had also Iohn to their minister 6 So when they had gone throughoute the

about seking some to lead him by the hand 12 Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done beleued and was astonied at the doctrine of the Lord. 13 Nowe when Paul and they that were with hym were departed by shyp frome Paphus they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia then Iohn departed frome them and returned to Ierusalem 14 But when they departed frome Perga they cameto Antiohia a citie of Pisidia went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day ād sate downe 15 And after the lecture of the Lawe and Prophetes the rulers of the Synagogue sent vnto them saying Ye men and brethren if ye haue
